Hey guys, as stated on my other post, I finally decided on my next rifle. It' s the Tikka Whitetail Hunter, stainless w/ laminated stock, in .270 winchester. It should be here in about a week.

My question is regarding rings for it. The dealer I' m buying it thru says that the Tikka rings are pretty high rings, and since I' m only going to put a 3-9x40 scope on it, he suggests using seperate bases that they have, and low rings (with the bases he' s using, low rings would give me enough clearance for the 40mm objective).

I' m torn because I' ve heard so many good things about the Tikka ring set-up. But, I can see where rings and separate bases might allow for more room to move the scope back or forward for proper eye relief.

Which do you like, or would get?? The Tikka rings run about 40 bucks. Same price as separate bases and rings.
